August Goals Reviewed
What a whirlwind of a month. I felt awful for most of the month. But I made the best of the days that I did feel OK. Below are the few goals that I made, and what was accomplished for the month.
1. Follow Doctors orders
I have done the best I can with this. So I give myself a Pass!
2. Clean out all old paperwork from home files
Most of it is cleaned out. Half and Half done
3. Plan meals and try 2 new recipes
Done! I made a couple of dishes, including a homemade stir fry that came out great.
4. Read 2 books
Done! Charlie St. Cloud, Eat, Pray, Love and Amagansett

I love Wineries and Farm Stands
A couple friends went with Greg and I out to Martha Clara and Duck Walk vineyard this weekend. We had a great time tasting about 10-12 different wines and 1 sangria. I bought 2 new bottles of wine, 1 from each vineyard. We also went for roasted corn at Harbes Farm Stand. Following that we made our way to Greenport and had lunch on the outdoor deck of BBQ Bill's.
It was a great way to start closing out the summer.

Getting Crafty
I have been saying for MONTHS that I wanted to take knitting and crochet classes. I was waiting for another friend who has a different schedule then I do for work- but it never worked out. Finally yesterday I signed up to start classes in Crochet for September! I am so excited. I have taken other classes in scrapbooking, cookie making and cake decorating. I love to learn new things and this should be another fun adventure.
This is where I am taking the classes. It is a local business that has a beautiful store and lots of great recommendations. I am sure I will be posting some pictures of creations to come.

What the YELP!
It is possible I am a little bit addicted with online social networking sites. In the past I have had an on line journal (9 years ago, now deleted), then a Myspace page (also now deleted). These days I have my nifty blog here, along with a Facebook page, Twitter account and a second blog with book reviews!
Then last month I learned of Yelp. Their website tag line is "Yelp is the fun and easy way to find, review and talk about what's great - and not so great in your area". It is so easy these days with my iPhone to stay connected to the world and let everyone know what I am up to. BUT the question then becomes: Who cares!?!? Apparently I do, and so do you out there. Yelp is a fun creative way to see where you go, how often, and what you think about the business that you visit. They have given titles to people who "check in" individual locations the most. You can be the "Duke, Duchess or a Regular", you could be the "King" of a whole area. So why not have a little fun a join in. Although my friend Jane is smart, she does not check in until she is leaving- that way no one knows her exact location.
